What sympathy can any reasonable person ha?e for the female vandal who seeks to ruin an invaluable work of art owned by the people, in order to relieve her emotions as an anguish ed suflragette ? The Velasquez Venus and Cupid is a /monument of art, it is unique, it can never be repeated, and is erne or the finest spe eimens of the work of a painter whom many art lovers adore as the finest muster that ever lived, and the shrill Miss Richardson, squealing for notoriety, excuses hc.rsolf with hysterical rubbish about destroying the most beautiful figure in mythology as protest against the Government's destruction of Mr:;.

We have therefore decided that all made by us from this oiit will be protected by a thicker rubber covering on the sides of tyre. This means better wear than ever to all "Dunlop" users, and is a further inducement why Motorists should select these Durable Tyres. There will be no increase in existing prices.

KEEP THE BL®@G> PURE. "The Blood is the Life of the Flesh." It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely—impurity of the blood. Therefore, our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted ; and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked, and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important then that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assist ance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, which has in thousands of instances proved its efficacy as a cleanser and purifier of the blood.

A Rational Way of Curing Stomach Troubles. This Woman Suffered for Months and Couldn't Eat Solid Food— Declares she was cured by Dr. Williams's Pink Pills. Indigestion is an every-day complaint. Nine people out of ten have it ;.omc tine or other. Meals taken hurriedly or ,it iriegular intervals, footj eaten too fast, or the chief of all..causes, a thin, watery condition o> the blood — then the stomach rebels, and a K:ap of misery from Indigestion follows. The stomach simple -be comes too weak to do ;.ts work. Headaches start, the sight and smell oc food sickens,. and what little is eaten doesn't nourish, the heart thumps, sleeplessness and a depressed feeling sets in, and life s^ems bar lly worth living. The main thing in curing Indigestion is to make the stomach stronger. There are reme dies by which one can relieve for the time heartburn and pain and wind in the ston-«ach ; but when the next meal is eaten the troubles begin again. That's not a cure. The sanest form,of treatment...

ARARAT— While there has been no decline ol importance, New Langi Logan are hardly holding their own. There is nothing in the official reports to ac count for the easing, except, perhaps, the pro tracted delay. In an official report issued by vhe mine manager it is shown that the south drive of! the east from the No. 1 rise is in rough, pavable wash. The manager states that the .water here is fairly heavy. The north drive from the shoot has been advanced to 65ft., the wash being lSin. over the back. It is antici pated that after a few more days' work the wash will come down into the face. A crosscut has been opened out to the west off the north level. There is 10ft. of wash here above the back. It is intended instead of put ting up a rise to let the level gradually slope upwards until it enters the wash. The No. 2 rise is being put up steadily, and the reef here is now easier for working. Now that the plant at the No. 2 shaft lias been practically com pleted the work of unwatering wi...

ANSWERS TO MINING CORRESPONDENTS 'B.B.R." (Kyneton).—The temporary stoppage at New Specimen Hill was owing to some slight accident to the winding winch. Work has sinco been resumed. We would not tako any aotion on the lines mapped out by you for the present. New Langi Logan are in practically tho same position as they wore six weeks asr.o. It is true that some oi tho holders are showing a littlo shyness, and it is" also true that values are fair ly hitch. This we have admitted all along ; but the manager, who knows the country very thor oughly, has on several . occasions expressed his confidence in the mine. This Is good enough for some of the biggest holders, so wo do not think that you need havo any cause for worry. "Puzzled."—Wo think T.*ew Ghum Goldfields should be all right. Of course, they are a fairly high priced stock, and no one with any knowledge of Bendigo mining would expect them to maintain the present average of yields. However, it bids fair to prove profitable as a go...
